    Is inequality inescapable?

    Explore how economic inequality can be measured and how it is impacted by different governmental policy choices.--Income and wealth inequality are not new. In fact, economists and historians who have charted economic inequality throughout history haven’t found a single society without it. Which raises a bleak question: is inequality … inevitable?

    Should you care what your parents value?

    Dig into the Romeo and Juliet Effect, which describes the tendency to find someone more desirable when met by parental opposition.--In 1972, psychologists at the University of Colorado surveyed 140 couples to determine whether a relationship facing parental disapproval was more likely to strengthen or crumble under the pressure. Can long-term success of a romantic relationship be predicted by the perceived approval or disapproval of the couple’s friends and family? Dig into the trend known as the Romeo and Juliet Effect.Directed by Maryna Buchynska, and action creative agency.This video made possible in collaboration with Character LabLearn more about how TED-Ed partnerships work: https://bit.ly/TEDEdPartnersA special thanks to H.

    The economic case for preschool - Timothy Bartik

    In this well-argued talk, Timothy Bartik makes the macro-economic case for preschool education -- and explains why you should be happy to invest in it, even if you don't have kids that age (or kids at all). The economic benefits of well-educated kids, it turns out, go well beyond the altruistic. (Filmed at TEDxMiamiUniversity.) Talk by Timothy Bartik. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Let's transform energy -- with natural gas - T. Boone Pickens

    The US consumes 25% of the world's oil -- but as energy tycoon T. Boone Pickens points out onstage, the country has no energy policy to prepare for the inevitable. Is alternative energy our bridge to an oil-free future? After losing $150 million investing in wind energy, Pickens suggests it isn't, not yet. What might get us there? Natural gas. After the talk, watch for a lively Q&A with TED Curator Chris Anderson. Talk by T. Boone Pickens. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Let's unite our medical data - John Wilbanks

    When you're getting medical treatment, or taking part in medical testing, privacy is important; strict laws limit what researchers can see and know about you. But what if your medical data could be used -- anonymously -- by anyone seeking to test a hypothesis? John Wilbanks wonders if the desire to protect our privacy is slowing research, and if opening up medical data could lead to a wave of health care innovation. Talk by John Wilbanks.
